Abstract
A sharps collector (10) comprising a container for holding, storing, and disposing syringes. The sharps collector includes a disposable receptacle (12) and a decorative cover (14). The receptacle preferably has two elongate apertures (40) and chutes (54) associated wit each aperture (40) and chutes (54) associated with each aperture (40). The chutes (54) are designed to guide syringes into the receptacle (12) once the syringes pass through an aperture (40). The chutes (54) also obstruct syringes which are already contained in the receptacle (12) from protruding or re-emerging out of the receptacle (12). The decorative cover (14) is reusable and fits over and attaches to the receptacle (12). When the cover (14) is attached to the receptacle (12), it conceals the apertures (40) and chutes (54) of the receptacle (12). The cover (14) includes an elongate aperture through which a shuttle is accessed. The shuttle (16) directs syringes to the concealed apertures (40) and chutes (54) of the receptacle (12). The syringes to be disposed are placed in the shuttle (16) and the shuttle (12) is manually shifted such that a syringe is pushed towards an aperture (40) and chute (54). The syringe then falls through the aperture (40), is guided by the chute (54), and ultimately falls into the receptacle (12) and is contained within the collector (10). The cover (14) can be detached from a receptacle (12) when that receptacle (12) is ready to be discarded. <IMAGE>
